The Terrace Hotel to close its doors after seven years in the west end of the CBD

The Terrace Hotel is closing its doors seven years after starting to restore St George’s House in the west end of the CBD.

The St Georges Terrace hotel began trading in 2012 at the height of the mining boom, when an acute shortage of hotel rooms was blighting the city.

At its Great Gatsby-inspired opening, then-premier Colin Barnett joined actress Emma Booth, architect Jean-mic Perrine and part-owner Chris Pyne in cutting the ribbon.

The hotel, opposite QV1 on the Bishops See site, was prime real estate for the 15 rooms and award-winning restaurant, which won dozens of gongs in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

The hotel’s website was still active last night and was advertising promotions such as a “winter warmer” package for two people for $219.

However, staff were telling patrons that no further bookings were being taken.

On Saturday morning the hotel posted confirmation of its closure on Facebook.

The post stated the closure had come about as “the business has faced challenges and the lessee has been unable to maintain consistent compliance with its lease obligations. As such the parties mutually agreed to end the lease.”

It went on to thanks staff and customers for their support in the time it operated.

“We apologise for any inconvenience and wish to thank all of our valued clients for their support over the past seven years and acknowledge the hard-working, professional and loyal management and staff who ran the Hotel during that time,” the post read.

St George’s House, originally named Bishop’s Grove, was built in 1892 by the Anglican Church.
